Well, only certain studios are not padding their DVD's. Some of them are still giving us good extras. I think trying to pitch BluRay en masse is going to flop -- sales are not what they hoped, and during a lousy economy, most people are not going to upgrade. So... whatever. At least the DVD prices are dropping.

Favorite movie of the summer? Woah. Did you forget "Inception" or "Toy Story 3"?

And as for the DVD statement, what did you expect? DVD's have been around since 1995! We are now in 2010 and the technology is upgrading. How are Blu-ray sales suppose to outdo DVD's if DVD's get all the material of Blu-rays? It doesn't make any logical sense. And, Blu-ray is not even your biggest problem. Now Blu-ray 3D is starting to make its way. In 5 years, DVD's will become extinct. Don't believe me? Remember in the old days when movies that debuted in cinemas only premiered on television? Now you can watch them portably. Where are VHS's? You don't see them. DVD's? They are slowly declining in sales. Blu-rays? will be dispelled of within a span of 10 years. Blu-ray 3D? Will become extinct in about 15 years because soon digital copies will take over. And besides, 1080p isn't the HIGHEST resolution a picture can get. Scientists are still further expanding the mega-pixels.

One thing I don't like is that the cover paints Sir Kingsley immediately in a villain light. Some might of saw it coming from a mile away, but I honestly didn't think he was bad off the bat. This cover definitely portrays him as bad off the bat.

With his individual character poster with the red lettering of REVENGE across the top, the theatrical poster of him glaring at the Prince, him barking out evil commands and talking like a cheesy Bond villain in the previews, and the fact he is the on-screen incarnate of the Vizier from the 2003 game weren't clues enough he was bad before you sat down in the theater? :-p Just saying...

I went into this film with very low expectations and I was surprisingly entertained. Decent plot and a couple fantastic visual sequences. The acting by everyone involved was believable. The film does drag a big in parts but not too long. I wouldn't purchase this though.

Gemma Arterton is just about the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She is stunning in this film.

It was a solid effort with adapting one of my all-time favorite video games. I will be buying this and am glad that they retained the poster art for the cover. I really do hope they push forward with a sequel or two just for making its budget back plus more from overseas ticket sales alone. The filmmakers hopefully learned from their mistakes and could churn out a better sequel. This one wasn't a spectacular film by any means, but it was enjoyable and should have had more of a box office haul. Maybe disc sales will be better...

Why is everyone white? Why does everyone have a British accent? Play the game. They just transferred what was already prominent in the game to the screen, Jake did a surprisingly good portrayal of the Prince despite my initial gripes about his casting.
